Guest guest Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I thought BPA was a problem with metals. I found plastic storage lids for mason jars at Wal-Mart and they said it was safer and would not have the risk of metal lids. I also found metallic water bottles saying something about no BPA--do I have my acronyms wrong? Debbie 41 cd Thanks to everyone for the responses to this. After reading your posts I feeel much better. I had been reading a great deal about BPA in the plastics and think I just got overwhelmed. I do think that with a combination of the pyrex and the newwer plasics I should be okay. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Hey, If it's a cap for a jar, I wouldn't sweat it too much as it shouldn't be interacting with the food much. The food should be mostly encountering the glass, the most important factor. But up to you.. Best! Does anyone know if the freezer storage caps for mason jars (white, plastic) are safe? I finally found them in the Wal-Mart and thought they would last longer than the metal lids. Debbie 41 cd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Hi,If your son is mature enough for grad school, then he's probably ready to learn to cook for himself, which will be absolutely necessary for him to continue on the diet for the long haul.I'm sure it will be valuable for him to have someone to help prepare foods etc, bet he'll need to be the one managing his recovery.If he wants this, he'll need to take charge sooner or later.just my 2 cents.best, Stevecd 1973scd 1998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 If you slice everything individually, they freeze well. I would put a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap between the bread. One trick I find that a works well is to put everything individually not touching on a cookie sheet and freeze. You can remove each piece and put in a bigger plastic bag and they stay individually frozen. You might have to knock them to get them separated like a bag of ice. This works with anything: chicken pieces, muffins, slices of bread, fruit, veggies, nut butter cake. If you have a silicon muffin pan, you can fill the holes with apple or pear sauce and freeze. When frozen, remove to a larger bag. It defrosts well. The squash muffins might be ok and freeze well: http://www.scdrecipe.com/recipes-muffin/pumpkin-muffins/ - you can sub whatever squash he's tolerating. http://www.scdrecipe.com/recipes-muffin/zucchini-muffins-variation/ I like to bake a whole butternut squash until semi soft. I peel it and chop into equal sized pieces (about 1 inch), toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and continue baking until done. When cool, I put 1 serving into a ziploc bag and freeze. They reheat well. You could also freeze these on the cookie sheet and put them all in one bag so if he can serve himself how much he wants.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I was not able to tolerate probiotics that early on the diet. If you decide to start the, start small and work your way up.
